Title: Apparatus and method for detecting friction characteristics
Inventor: KATSUHIRO ASANO
IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting friction characteristics are disclosed, in which a wheel resonant system includes a vehicle body, a road surface and at least a wheel. A braking force control system exerts a braking force on the wheel. A resonant component detector determines a resonant gain providing the ratio between the amplitude of predetermined frequency component of the braking force and that of the wheel velocity and detects the ratio of the resonant gain to a present reference gain, a deviation calculator calculates the deviation between this ratio and unity, a PI controller controls the braking force control system in such a manner that the deviation coincides with zero, and a friction characteristics detector detects the friction characteristics on the basis of the braking force. When the friction force is made to approach a peak value by increasing the braking force, the resonant characteristics undergo a change thereby to reduce the resonant gain. By controlling the braking force in such a manner that the deviation coincides with zero, therefore, the friction characteristics are held at a peak value. This braking force reflects the friction characteristics, and therefore the friction characteristics between the road surface and the wheel can be accurately detected according to the relative magnitude of the braking force.

Abstract: The row of articles (P) to be subdivided advances on a main conveyor (12) beside which there is a further conveyor (14) for receiving a derived row of articles (A). The articles which are to form the derived row are diverted selectively towards the branch conveyor (14) by a pneumatic diverting unit (16) comprising one or more blowing heads (18) which generate an air-flow such as to strike the articles (P) laterally. The air-flow may be produced intermittently so as to strike only the articles (P) which are to constitute the derived row, or continuously, thus striking all of the articles (P). In the latter case, the articles (P) which are not to be diverted are restrained on the main conveyor (12), for example, by the creation of a zone (46) of subatmospheric pressure which acts on the articles subject to restraint through perforated areas (34) in the respective conveyor so as to render these articles insensitive to the action of the diverting air-flow.

Abstract: The hydraulic brake system has a manually operated setting cylinder (4) with two pressure chambers (6,8). The first of these (6) controls a throttle valve to set its cross section to create a specific dynamic pressure for application to a power unit (10) to apply the braking force. The power unit has a piston-cylinder device (12) to apply the force. The second pressure chamber (8) is connected to a second piston-cylinder device (14) of the power unit, so that if the servo power fails, a braking force can still be applied.

Abstract: An archival system and method for voice mail messages includes recording devices, such as cassette recorders, compact disc recorders and DAT recorders (82,84). The archival system may be directly connected to one or more voice mail systems, or connectable via the public switched telephone network, so that the archival system can serve several voice mail systems. Voice mail messages identified by users to be archived are stored in a transfer queue (64,66) in a voice mail system. The voice mail system performs an outdialing operation to connect to the archival system and transmits the voice mail messages, together with message identifying information, such as preferred storage medium and an optional header identifying the message, to a storage queue in the archival system. The archival system instructs an operator to mount a tape or other storage medium in a selected device and then records the voice mail messages on a removable storage medium, such as audio tape. The resulting tape is then sent to the user and the original voice mail messages may be deleted.
